The Drum Media entered the Perth landscape with a view to bring the ethos of its iconic East Coast brothers to the vibrant music scene that had developed in Perth.

In a short time The Drum Media has cemented itself as a must-read for all of Perth’s Gen Y. The Drum Media’s enlightening and entertaining insight into the world of music, film and art has earned a reputation that ranks it alongside international benchmarks. Think the UK’s NME crossed with New York’s Village Voice with an entertainingly Australian irreverence. For past 18 months, The Drum Media has been covering every inch of the entertainment scene, profi ling international performers and events and, most importantly, fostering Australian art and artists. The Drum Media has also proved a fertile breeding ground for dynamic new journalism, design and has launched the careers of many music industry luminaries.

Published and read by over 80,000 people weekly, The Drum Media is distributed to over 800 carefully targeted pubs, clubs, cafes and stores throughout greater Perth. With a primary focus on the 17-35 demographic, The Drum Media specialises in contemporary popular music – rock, punk, metal, blues and roots as well as a comprehensive coverage of arts, theatre and culture. There’s also Members Only, the bible for what’s happening in the Perth dance scene. In-depth features, profiles and reviews by some of the country’s leading journalists, specialist columns and an exhaustive gig guide make for essential weekly reading for Perth’s youth.
